Now that OBL's dead, can we go back to not groping 6-year olds as they go through airport security?

[LetTimmySmoke]

Would be a nice change, along with allowing water bottles over 3.5 ounces. Maybe we can even keep our shoes on too. Oh, and also time to sunset the patriot act?

1. I was thinking the same.

[MiniMe]

2. I really hate to say it, but security will be worse for a while

[LetTimmySmoke]

3. Yes, I know.

Foolish it is, I know, to hope for some abatement in the military-security-industrial complex. But I still like to entertain it from time to time.

Still though, good work catching him.

[FredStembottom]

5. True. But over time.....

If his terrorist org. falls apart, I want my shoes and my Privacy back!

[woo me with science]

6. "For a while" isn't in the vocabulary.

I fear the Fourth Amendment is in for more shredding.

8. You can thank the war on drugs for that.

America might have won the war against OBL, but it lost the war against a plant.

7. and as a NYer I am grateful it will be tighter at times. Sadly we need it.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

4. As if...

The fascists and their useful idiots aren't going to give back an inch of their "security apparatus".

[obxhead]

9. can we not.....

force people to hand over hard earned money to corporations to decide what type of health care we need?

continue rendition?

continue two (3) wars for oil company profits?

continue bank bailouts without a change in policy that brought the "need?"

Fuck it, I refuse to continue to list the corporate gang bang that "change we can believe in" has brought us.

(edit)
Thank god, some promises were kept. The girls got a fucking puppy.

Oops... the massive power of the presidency couldn't even find an allergen free pound puppy, it had to go to a breeder. Guess no promise is too small to fudge.

10. Get rid of the gropers and hire some air traffic controllers

Get rid of the security gauntlet and air traffic will shoot up about 10-20%. So will airline stock! Jobs, jobs, jobs!
